[4K] 🇹🇷 Walking Streets Istanbul - Çukurcuma Antiques Shopping, İstiklal. Turkey

One of Istanbul's favorite antique-hunting areas is the district called Çukurcuma (choo-KOOR-joo-mah) in Beyoğlu. (The neighborhood's name is officially Firuzağa Mahallesi, but everyone knows it as Çukurcuma when it comes to antiques.) Here's a plan and a map: from İstiklal Caddesi just northeast of Galatasaray Square, walk southeast along Turnacıbaşı Caddesi past several Greek schools. The street turns left in front of the Galatasaray HamamıTurkish bath and the Greek Consulate-General, then comes to Faik Paşa Caddesi on the right.
There are a dozen funky antique shops within 100 meters of this intersection, as well as the Turistik Ağa Hamamı (Turkish Bath).
